Chapter 36: Old Man
Long Jing pointed to a transparent jade bracelet and asked me, "Is it beautiful?"
The bracelet was shiny, not like a worldly thing, and I nodded busily.
Long Jing asked the vendor for the price, and the vendor looked at me and whispered a few words in Long Jing's ear. Long Jing nodded, and actually picked up the bracelet and put it on my wrist.
I was taken aback and was about to take it off, but the bracelet seemed to have grown into my hand and I couldn't take it off at all.
The vendor looked at me and smiled, and said, "This thing is yours and yours, and you can't pick it off."
I looked at Longjing in trepidation and said, "My family doesn't have the money to buy this...... If you can't pick it off, do you have to cut off the plum cabbage's hand? β
Long Jing smiled: "You kid is stupid? What the dragon god gave you, you can wear it! It is a reward for your hard work before and after the saddle when you hunt demons for me. β
Although I definitely can't afford this, I can't pick it up and there is no way, so I have to thank Longjing, thinking in my heart, how could this Longjing suddenly be so generous, and I can't help but be suspicious.
But the dragon well is indeed the dragon well, and there is no difference in the slightest from usual.
It occurred to me that I had an idea. Wouldn't this be an illusion of Zhengshan?
I couldn't help but pinch myself secretly, but it really hurt.
But everything here, beautiful, borders on falsehood.
Long Jing was still smiling, leading me to go further inside, and I was scared in my heart.
It's July, and it's when the hell door is wide open. You have to be careful.
I stared at Longjing, and the more I felt that something was wrong with Longjing.
He is selfish, gluttonous, mean, lazy, but never gentle. Be generous, and you won't be able to buy me anything.
This dragon well in front of you, isn't it some kind of monster?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking, "Lord Dragon, where are the melon slices?" β
I saw Longjing say calmly: "Go to the Dragon Palace to celebrate my father's birthday for me, didn't I tell you." β
I wanted to ask, but I immediately shut up.
Because I clearly saw that there was a tail behind the dragon well.
A looming tail hidden in a long robe.
I didn't dare to say much, so I lowered my head and just left.
Long Jing smiled: "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat the delicacies of the fairy world. β
My palms were sweaty, and I nodded quickly.
Food? No, I'm just eating plum vegetables?
Longjing took me to a restaurant, uh, it should be a restaurant?
It's very different from the restaurants in the world. It's actually full of all kinds of delicacies, and you can take it yourself.
A fat-headed, big-eared, oily-faced man is eating xiaolongbao.
It's not so much about eating, it's about pouring.
He turned drawers of buns into his mouth, and the mouth was open like the old woman monster who was going to eat me yesterday, like an open pocket. The upper and lower jaws are completely separated, and the bamboo tube is poured like beans.
Certainly not human, certainly not human......
Long Jing calmly dragged me to sit down, fetched food and put it in front of me.
It's a real delicacy.
In the jasper bowl was rouge-colored rice, in front of the ivory basket were unknown fruits, in the agate plate were golden buttery lumps that had never been seen before, neatly stacked, and in a white jade plate what appeared to be strips of crimson minced meat.
I dared to ask, "This...... What kind of food are they? I have never seen the world, and I have never eaten it. β
Long Jing said with a smile: "At present, the most important thing to do is to eat it, not ask it, try it."
After eating this, is it really okay?
Long Jing seemed to see my hesitation, and he ate some of it first, and drank a small glass of fuchsia juice.
At this point, I ate a small piece of minced meat.
This is really only available in the fairy world, right? Silky and sweet. It's chewy and strong, what kind of meat is this?
Long Jing saw that I liked to eat, and smiled and coerced some more.
I looked at him suspiciously, thinking to myself, why did this fake dragon well trick me into coming here, and where is this place?
Looking around, I don't remember the way back, he said that the market is only open in July, could it be that after July, I will lock up here? How do I escape?
At this moment came a very large man who walked sideways, and he was standing at our table, but he stretched out his hand to grasp the minced meat that he had taken for himself, that is, his arm, like Madame Du, all the way to the other side of the room.
The dragon well admired it with great interest, and I was frightened, and while the dragon well was distracted, I slipped behind the strange guest.
It's too dangerous to keep this dragon well around! Who knows what he brought me to do!
When I ran out a long way, I looked back at the dragon well as if it hadn't been chased, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The market is still bustling with people. I thought to myself, why don't you ask for directions, since there is a way to get in, there must be a way to get out.
Looking at those people carefully, all of them didn't seem to be bad people, and finally I chose an old man who sold candy.
The old man had a childish face, dragged his white beard to the ground, and his long eyebrows drooped down his cheeks.
In front of him were golden cranes, monkeys, rabbits, and cats with their paws stretched out. Winter every other skill.
The animals were so lifelike that I thought to myself that this old man must not be a bad person. Then he stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Uncle, I'm lost, can you please show me the direction to leave this Rakshasa Sea City?"
The old man stopped, looked at me, and said slowly, "How did you get here?"
I replied, "Someone brought me here."
The old man asked again, "What about your companion?"
I lied casually: "It's been a long time since I was separated, so I asked for directions."
The old man smiled and said, "Do you know what this place is?"
I replied, "But is the fairar of the immortals ---- the Rakshasa Sea Market?"
The old man raised his head and laughed, and then leaned close to my ear and whispered: "Where is this fairy market, don't you know that the Midyear Festival is coming?" Here," the old man smiled triumphantly, "but the ghost market ......."
Ghost Market...... This is a ghost market......
I was dumbfounded, and the old man smiled: "How is it? Are you a ghost or a demon? I didn't see any demonic spirit in you, what did you want to buy here? β
If I were human, would I be eaten on the spot?
I hurriedly prevaricated: "I ...... I didn't die long...... So there's nothing demonic......"
The old man looked at me carefully and asked, "Then what are you here for?"
I had no choice but to say, "It's nothing, just hang around horizontally and vertically......"
The old man asked again, "Then how much money do you have?"
The more he asked me, the more panicked he became, and he made up nonsense: "The newly dead ghost, the paper money burned at home has not yet arrived."
The old man sniffed it carefully, and said suspiciously: "How can I be born, there is still a sense of popularity......
Oh no, I'm still alive, it seems that if I ask again, my identity will be exposed, and I'm busy lying to leave, saying: "I said that I just died, eh, isn't that my acquaintance, I'm going to pass, uncle, don't you leave!" β
While pulling out his legs to go.
But the old man stretched out his withered hand, grabbed my shoulders and dragged me back, his nose stretched out like a pulled noodle, up to my neck, and said, "You, you can't hide it from the old man, smell this smell, are you afraid that you are alive?" β
My dead duck has a hard mouth: "My husband smelled wrong, how can I be popularγγγγγγγ β
The old man smiled and whispered: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, but if you are a living person and the demon next to you knows, then it's not easy to say, so let's do good deeds today, how about the old man accumulating virtue and doing good deeds today and taking you back to the yang world?" β
"Is that true?" I looked at the old man.
"No fake, no fake." With a wave of his long sleeves, the old man put the huge stall into his sleeve, which really stunned me.
"Come on, come on." My husband led me to the road, I hesitated, do I want to follow?
The old man seemed impatient and said, "Do you want to come or not?" was eaten by demons, but don't blame the old man for standing by. β
I had to keep up, and when things happened, I had to improvise.
My husband took me all the way through all kinds of stalls, selling gorgeous clothes, gold and silver threads, doing their best to extravagant, and selling fine wine, the wine is a rare translucent rose color, the fragrance is rich, as if it can be spread ten miles away, all kinds of things, all of which are not owned by the world.
It seems that the old man's light has been borrowed on the road, but no one asks me about my origin.
But as I walked, I realized that this was not the way I came.
"Uncle, why haven't I seen the stall here? Doesn't seem like the way I came? β
The old man hurriedly "shh β
I kept my mouth shut, but I still wondered.
The old man peeked and saw that no one seemed to be paying attention, and breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "There is more than one entrance to the Yang world, as long as you don't make a sound, the old man will bring you to the Yang world, heheheheheγγγγγγ β
This peculiar laughter made me more and more suspicious, but this old man was going to take me to a secluded place and eat me, and he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of attracting demons, and he was really afraid.
Seeing that this stall was becoming more and more unfamiliar, I had the idea of running away, but even if I did, there would be demons next to me to eat me. I pinched the corners of my skirt, and I really didn't know how to make a living.
At this moment, suddenly a hand grabbed a corner of me, and I couldn't help but be startled, and when I looked back, it was a short old man I didn't know, and behind him was a clothing stall.
When this short old man saw me, he wondered, "Isn't this a plum vegetable?" How did you come to be here? β
I was taken aback, and just about to ask who it was, the candy seller first asked, "Is this your separated companion?" β
Before I could reply, the short old man shouted, "Isn't it, I brought the person, where are you leading her?" β
This old man is short and short, and in terms of size, he really looks like Wu Dalang on the stage of the three-inch Dinggu bark.
Mature brown face, with ravines on it, bent eyebrows and smiling eyes, and the corners of the mouth slightly upturned, always happy.
He was wearing a dark purple satin robe with the word "longevity" of Tuanhua, a soft hat of the same color, and a pair of brand-new soap boots on his feet. A jade-spouted pipe was stuck in his belt.
I looked at the old man, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
He stretched out his hand and pulled me and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I came here!" It's really a child's foot strength, I can't catch up. He coughed.
